Unpreempted!?!

Just had a phone call from Tristis, the CHSR station manager. The preemption of tonight's Ashes, Paper & Beans is off. Melissa is too sick to get to the station, to speak, to be on air with a day of planned special broadcast programming in recognition of the sad anniversary of the Montreal Massacre (of 16 women students at École Polytechnique) and the now annual call for the elimination of violence against women.

Tris told me I am "unpreempted" and apologized for the short notice [8 hours] where preemptions require a week's notice. Instead of having one of the very few, very rare, Tuesday nights in Fredericton that I'm not live on air, I'm to pull together a not planned program and rearrange people and things to make it happen.

I agree what U said that what you are gonna drink depend on occasion, that is to say of company, place, time, and mood certainly. But, apart from that, think that making choice between vine and beer is also a matter of personality. Don t you think that not everyone ‘knows’, or maybe is better to say ‘is able’ to enjoy drinking vine?
